This annual three-day art festival highlights the noteworthy role of Amsterdam as a catalyst for new and up-coming artistic talent. Key institutions such as renowned post-graduate art residencies; galleries and museums create synergies, come together and make of the Amsterdam Art Weekend the portal showcasing the gems in Amsterdam’s contemporary art scene. In addition, the uniqueness of this event lies on its exclusive programme and exceptional agenda.
Remarkable post-graduate artists residencies (de Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten and De Ateliers) host outstanding emerging international artists giving them an indispensable starting point to propel themselves in the global arena. This development of international careers of young talents that happens in close cooperation with Amsterdam galleries is something extraordinary considering the size of the city and the artistic spectrum being covered.
The Amsterdam Art Weekend is an initiative from Capital A, an Amsterdam based non-profit organisation that highlights and promotes the capital’s contemporary art scene through collaboration with galleries, museums, and artist’s residencies. For more information please visit: www.capitala.nl
